Hands

In our minds, what do we associate with Easter? How about bunnies and chocolate eggs? Spring having finally arrived? Is it something religious to do with Jesus? What about hands? We’re talking about our hands, Jesus’ hands and God’s hands. Whatever we touch seems to break. Whatever God touches comes to life. Easter is the time in which we will see what our hands, Jesus’ hands and God’s hands have done and will do in our lives and in the world.

Dirty Hands March 17, 2013

When Adam and Eve bit into that fruit God told them not to eat, their hands got dirty. Not dirty from fruit juice but from the guilt of having rejected God and His way. All humans have dirty hands from sin and we dirty everything we touch. We add to our own guilt by our own attitudes, words and actions. Do we even realize how dirty our hands have gotten? A teacher in the Bible named Isaiah calls us out on how dirty our hands and lives have become and then calls us to turn to the one who can make us clean again. More info »

Pierced Hands March 29, 2013

We call this day, “Good Friday”. It is the day to remember when the dirty, blood-stained hands of a violent mob and Roman soldiers arrested Jesus, dragged him to an unlawful trial, beat him and then stretched his loving, healing hands out on a rugged cross and nailed him to it. What “Good” is that? The full story is that through Jesus’ pierced hands, our sin-stained hands are washed and we are free from the dirt of a life that was never meant to be. More info »

Saving Hands March 31, 2013

Easter Sunday: the greatest celebration for those who believe in Jesus. It is on the same level or greater than the celebration of Christmas. God used His powerful hands to raise Jesus from the dead. That same power raises us from our “death” because of our own sinful condition. Do you want to be saved? One of the Bible’s authors, Paul, shows us how God’s power does really save us and gives us a real victory. More info »
